FUNNIEST WAY TO DESCRIBE THIS SHOW

There is something so incredibly fucking sweet about Ed mirroring Stede when it comes to showing him affection.

Not just the "You wear fine things well" moment, but in going to check on Stede after killing Ned the same way Stede checked on Ed in the tub, making breakfast with marmalade the same way Stede brought him breakfast after the lighthouse thing in Season 1, like.

Stede has been the only one to show Ed such kind love, such soft and sweet and considerate love. Season 1 Ed only knew how to get affection from Stede by taking a sword to the gut, but Season 2 Ed has been replaying all those moments in his head just the way lovesick Stede was, and now that Stede's back the only thing Ed knows how to do is to mirror what has been the most earth shattering love he's ever experienced right back, because he doesn't know how else to show someone he loves them. It's so fucking endearing, and so real, and just.

Makes me excited for Season 3, ya know?

Over his dead body.

guess they’ve talked it through as a crew :)

“Lover, where do you live? In the sky, in the clouds, in the ocean?”

ofmd is like not comedy as in sitcom but comedy as in shakespearean where it’s psychological trauma and conflicts of violence but with dick jokes and the promise of marriage in the end

also glad they made the point of ed and stede’s love not needing to be like anyone else’s. it’s their own, and they get to decide what they want, how they want it and when. they know they won’t start hurting each other for kicks when the mystery is gone because they know it never will be, they’re always going to be friends who find each other fascinating down to every mundane detail. they don’t need to rush into having sex despite mocking from anne and mary, ed can ask to take it slow and stede will just hold his hand about it. stede can be sincere about loving breathing the same air as ed and it doesn’t matter who laughs because we see ed’s face and it means something to him. it’s honest and sweet and kind and it’s exactly what ed needs to hear, whether anyone else finds it ridiculous or not. stede likes ed’s beard the way it is, and clearly so does ed, so who cares what anyone else says? the outside voices weighing in and passing judgement on their relationship don’t matter. it’s their love story, and it can be whatever they want it to be.

the Literacy Duo, as i like to call them

like ofmd really came into my house and cupped my face in its hands and said 'what if there was a guy who felt so fundamentally unloveable that he pushed everybody away and wanted to be dead and what if he was in fact loved so much that it literally saved his life'

🥺🥺🥺 they're back
